My late Mother hated lilies - those white 'arum?' (sp?) lilies. I do like the prettier ones but their stamens cause havoc if they touch anything so they should be snipped out - apparently. the perfume is lovely initially but they can give me a sick headache when they become too much. My eldest son however did buy me some 'Persian lilies' from M&s two weeks ago and they're still going strong, they don't smell but are so pretty and don't stain anything they touch.
I love Bluebells.
Arum lilies are my absolute favorite, i cant tell you how much i LOVE them. I have some in my garden, they were here when we arrived and they grow to over 6 foot tall !!!!! nobody has ever seen such massive ones. TBH i didnt know they could grow that tall but they do.
- they look 'pure' somehow. My Mum could have lily-of-the-valley growing all over her garden - it was beautiful, she gave myself and an old friend of mine 'roots' mine never took, my friend's spread over the garden like the flower did at my Mum's. I guess it's the soil?
My garden has jasmine, lilies (all sorts of lilies, giant and otherwise 
) lavender and honeysuckle. i love all those smells.

No one understand migraines - it's like people who have a cold saying they have flu - a headache is not like a migraine!
I'm better since my B12 /pernicious anaemia was diagnosed tho'.

you stood in the way of troo love
there seems to be a lot of spiders white gobby stuff on my lilies today when i looked but they dont seem to kill them. the lilies dont seem to have anything wrong with them so maybe i dont.
i am imagining you waging war in full camouflage against the little buggers Nope cant say ive seen them in my garden. i do have a few nibbled bits on my leafs but i put that down to caterpillars no black gloopy shit though.quote:Originally posted by Gypsie:

You are so right. I remember my dad being so dismissive of my migraines as a child and my mum used to get cross if I was sick with one. I got so bad that I was always sick with pain. My GP said I was too young to suffer with them... I have had them since I can remember. As soon as I could talk I told my mum that I had flashing lights and numb fingers and then a bad headache and she knew it was migraine but doctor said it was all in my imagination!!! Tool!
Teachers said it was to get out of certain lessons etc.
I have more attacks now but the headache doesn't always come but when the headache does come I am flawed!
Glad you have got better with your diagnosis

Just as a quick heads up to anyone who doesn't know, as I didn't realise this until recent years... but lillies, as are often found in bouquets, are dangerous for cats.
I wouldn't buy lillies myself, but they are often central to many arrangements given for birthdays/anniversaries etc.
Just thought I'd mention it, as we are a nation of pet lovers
ooh didn't know that St Georgina, thanks
I agree when the lilies open I always cut them out as it stop the pollen stains going everywhere as the stains are very hard to cleanquote:Originally posted by Scooby doo:
I love lillies but hate the smell of them.
If you cut out the little stalky antenna looking things in the middle of them (be careful if you get the dust particles on your clothes it could stain) it helps to keep the smell of them down.
